Housing for S2...recommendations?

I did return from Bonaire last week. I had some success with the 12-24 but I'm not sure how well it is going to work with Ike's small dome. With the exception of WA closeups, I had no luck using the +4 diopter that is recommended. I will continue trying different combos on my next trip on the Cayman Aggressor. Hopefully, I will get some filter advice here beforehand.

I miss that Provia/Velvia surreal blue water.

Talk to Craig about the filters. He got some incredible blue water shots on his Turks and Caicos trip.

I have been hearing many rumours that Ike is going to release a 'big' dome. One of my 'friends' even said he had one but I haven't seen him for several months and he is notorioulsy unreliable. Maybe Ike can confirm this one way or another.

The only thing I really miss is getting the detail in sun bursts - so I need more dynamic range of colours. I actually don't miss the surreal blue water very much.

BTW, the 12-24mm DX lens maybe the best lens I have ever put on a camera - it is outstanding. I have been using it behind the Aquatica large dome and I am not seeing any soft corners (except when it is my fault).

John, I am plannining to take a +1 and +2 on the next trip. I will be more inclined to experiment on the live-aboard.

I agree, I am impressed with the lenses sharpness. I just need to work on the combination. Better yet, maybe your friend is right and there is an 8" dome in the works.

I've seen quite a number of people in this forum using Aquatica housing for S2 Pro. But I cannot find the housing in Aquatica website. The site mentioned that a S2 Pro housing is coming soon. So who did you guys get your hands on the housing???

I think the Aquatica website is a bit out of date.

Where abouts are you, and perhaps we can point you in the direction of an Aquatica rep......

Best
